POVERTY
Poverty in childhood is associated with lower school achievement; worse cognitive, behavioral, and attention-related outcomes; higher rates of delinquency, depressive and anxiety disorders; and higher rates of almost every psychiatric disorder in adulthood. Children from families living in poverty are 3 times more likely, on average, to suffer from psychiatric conditions, including both externaliz- ing disorders such as ADHD, oppos- itional defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder, and internalizing disorders such as depression, anxiety, and poor coping skills.
